Pakui Hardware is interested in the close relationship between materiality, technology and economies. Central to their work is the question as to how far technology actually does alter economics and our physical perception of reality. They investigate questions of automation, robotics, synthetic biology and the significance of new materials. The artist duo produces sculptures and installations suffused with various materials, images, and shapes, which are often reminiscent of futuristic or biological settings. Here, fabric and material produced by technology encounter transparent, ephemeral materials; they determine the equally organic and synthetic appearance of their objects and spatial installations.

The exhibition »Extrakorporal« immerses the viewer in a Petri dish, or perhaps in a shamanistic realm? Here, organs and tissues grow outside bodies, the future behavior of which is still a matter for speculation. Turritopsis jellyfish and sea-urchin larvae alike are examined cell by cell in an attempt to track down the recipe that makes them immortal. Seemingly familiar yet elusive objects are suspended in space and appear to evoke the inexplicable energies of self-rejuvenation, and they are reminiscent of ritualistic masks. They resemble trophies gained by extracting the essence of the life and, hence, of the immortality these sea creatures possess.

Pakui Hardware, founded 2014 by Neringa Černiauskaitė, born 1984 in Klaipeda, Lithuania, and Ugnius Gelguda, born 1977 in Vilnius, Lithuania, had numerous solo shows since 2014, amongst others at EXILE in Vienna (AUT), at Tenderpixel Gallery in London (GB, both 2018), at Trafó contemporary art center in Budapest (HU), at SIC Room at Kiasma in Helsinki (FIN, both 2017), MUMOK in Vienna (AUT, 2016) and at kim? Contemporary Art Center in Riga (LVA, 2015). Lately they took part in group exhibitions, e.g. at MAXXI in Rome (I), at Domaine Pommery in Reims (F), at Baltic Triennal 13 at Contemporary Art Center in Vilnius (LT), at Museum Sztuki in Łódź (P, all 2018), at Kunstverein Braunschweig and Kunstverein Freiburg, at the Kunsthalle Basel (SUI) and at Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (AUS, all 2017).

Bielefelder City Walk #23 »Skulpturenwanderung - Suchet der Stadt Schönstes« with Christine Ruis
Meeting Point: Next to the entrance of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld

Sat, September 29, 2018, 14:00

Workshop »Unterwegs in der Landschaft Stadt« with Kay von Keitz (author and curator, Cologne) as part of the »Bielefelder City Walks«.
RSVP until September 24, 2018

In the spirit of flâneurs and situationists, but also from the perspective of current artists, the urban landscape, which we generally refer to as a city, should be viewed and experienced together. A »different view«, which the arts have always allowed and bring us closer to, should be directed towards larger contexts, urban and architectural peculiarities as well as remarkable details. It deals with planned as well as unplanned, plausible and inexplicable, historical and atmospheric moments that are ignored in routine everyday perception.

Lecture »Unterwegs in der Landschaft Stadt« with Kay von Keitz (author and curator, Cologne) as part of the »Bielefelder City Walks«

Kay von Keitz studied Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Practice at the University of Hildesheim. He lives in Cologne since 1993 and works in the fields of art and architecture as a freelance author, publisher and curator. In 1999, together with Sabine Voggenreiter, he founded the international exhibition and event project »plan - Architektur Biennale Köln«. From 2012 to 2015, on behalf of the City of Cologne, he designed and implemented the first phase of the newly established »City Lab for Art in Public Space« under the project title »The Urban Congress« together with Markus Ambach. Since November 2014 he is chairman of the Art Advisory Council of the City of Cologne.

Art in everyday life often causes perplexity - if anyone reacts at all. Because many people often go past sculptures, fountains, installations, murals or ground works carelessly. Art is not recognized as such. Therefore, the city walk not only leads into the sculpture park of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, but also focuses on the seemingly casual art in public space. It is about an approach through a subjective perception, an approach in exchange about it or through artistic interventions.

Public guided tour through the three exhibitions »Reinhart Koselleck und das Bild« with Marie Lemser

The artist Raphaela Kula has been collecting stories and related objects within her »strand project« (beach project) for about 2 years, which represent a personal view of her own life in the east of Bielefeld. The walk begins at the historical refugee monument of 1953 and thus refers to the existence and the changing, to the experience of walking, coming and staying.www.atelier-ostbahnhof.de

Special tour »Let's face it! - faces and images to compare« with Prof. Johannes Grave, Joris C. Heyder and Britta Hochkirchen (in German language)
as part of the GENIALE-Festival 18. bis 26. August 2017)

Do you sometimes compare your picture on your messenger with those of your friends? Referring to the exhibition »FaceTunes« we would like to try out what happens, if several images of facial representations come together in one room. Sometimes it's bothering to look at certain images in a row, but most of the time this arrangement is a great chance to sharpen the own senses. During this guided tour we want to scrutinise and exemplify different ways of seeing and comparing.

Coinciding with the exhibition, the international symposium deepens investigations into the current paradigm of transparency and the ambivalence of the term. Invited speakers from the disciplines of design, literature and cultural studies situate the phenomenon of »transparency« in cultural history, question it in relation to artistic practice and reflect on it in the charged area between individual and society. »

With lectures and contributions from art, philosophy, and information design, the one day conference stimulates a further discussion of the exhibition theme, allows a historical perspective and provides insight into the current use of diagrams. »

Gestaltung - an inter-discipline

Bielefelder Kunstverein and the Department of Design at the University od Apllied Sciences Bielefeld organized a forum for exchange, reflexion and critique. In a series of lectures by Ruedi Baur, Eike König, Martin Fengel and Claudia Mareis presented current developments in the field of design and its relation to art and science.

A video installation by Prof. Dr. Cornelia Giebeler, Prof. Thomas Henke as well as students of FH Bielefeld (University of Applied Sciences) in the context of the science festival GENIALE 2011. The project observed infants trespassing from family to day-care centres. »
